Steve Jobs now understands the meaning of this weblog's tag line. There are no secrets, only information you don't yet have. I really felt a bit sorry for Steve and I'm sure we'll hear that some webmaster at Time pulled a major boner by posting the new homepage at midnight, or perhaps forgetting that he wrote some perl script that does it automatically in their workflow. Someone's head will roll for sure. Especially since the whole Time coverstory was supposed to be the icing on the cake! I'm happy to see the digital hub strategy continue. I believe in it and eventually bandwidth will catch up with all the multimedia (remember that's what we used to call it) spokes in Steve's hub. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a FedEx truck filled with freshly burned iDVD's barreling down the highway... Finally, I really like the new iMac. It's exactly what this MacAholic absolutley needs. Its Steve's vision, Steve's art. Its the new beetle, only this time it came out 3 years later than the original instead of 30. All this digital hub needs now is a brain. 9:22:25 PM    Discuss

Since our company is too poor too afford a trip for the deveopers to visit MacWorld we're gonna build our own party, Jamby Style. Here's what's happening: We're grabbing Steve's Keynote from the European Satellite feed, then we're running that through our RealTime MPEG4 OS X Streaming Server. Fullscreen dude, it'll blow you away. And we want to do just that and will share our eXperiment. Stay tuned for URL details. 5:28:06 PM    Discuss

Last year Lars Godell, telecom analyst at ForresterÌs European headquarters in Amsterdam called it correctly: "European mobile operators will consolidate or disappear, and UMTS will be remembered as the trigger that imploded Europe's mobile industry." 9:49:57 AM    Discuss

Time Canada: This is the new iMac, the long-awaited successor to the best-selling, candy-colored, all-in-one computer that revived Apple's consumer sales and signaled that the boss and co-founder was back and badder than ever. This new iMac, Jobs says, "is the best thing we've ever done." Not the news geeks were looking for, but as a shareholder I agree that we are wallowing in digital cameras and camcorders and MP3 players that get harder to use, not easier. The thing that will connect us to our gadgets needs to be a digital hub, a computer designed to simplify our lives. But it better have 802.11b! 9:31:27 AM    Discuss
